description The pathogenicity of foodborne <i>Vibrio parahaemolyticus</i> is a major concern for global public health. This study aimed to optimize the liquid–solid extraction of Wu Wei Zi extracts (WWZE) against <i>Vibrio parahaemolyticus</i>, identify its main components, and investigate the anti-biofilm action. The extraction conditions optimized by the single-factor test and response surface methodology were ethanol concentration of 69%, temperature at 91 °C, time of 143 min, and liquid–solid ratio of 20:1 mL/g. After high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis, it was found that the main active ingredients of WWZE were schisandrol A, schisandrol B, schisantherin A, schisanhenol, and schisandrin A–C. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of WWZE, schisantherin A, and schisandrol B measured by broth microdilution assay was 1.25, 0.625, and 1.25 mg/mL, respectively, while the MIC of the other five compounds was higher than 2.5 mg/mL, indicating that schisantherin A and schizandrol B were the main antibacterial components of WWZE. Crystal violet, Coomassie brilliant blue, Congo red plate, spectrophotometry, and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays were used to evaluate the effect of WWZE on the biofilm of <i>V. parahaemolyticus</i>. The results showed that WWZE could exert its dose-dependent potential to effectively inhibit the formation of <i>V. parahaemolyticus</i> biofilm and clear mature biofilm by significantly destroying the cell membrane integrity of <i>V. parahaemolyticus</i>, inhibiting the synthesis of intercellular polysaccharide adhesin (PIA), extracellular DNA secretion, and reducing the metabolic activity of biofilm. This study reported for the first time the favorable anti-biofilm effect of WWZE against <i>V. parahaemolyticus</i>, which provides a basis for deepening the application of WWZE in the preservation of aquatic products.
